Remington iLight Pro’s: A Hair Razing Tale – Pt7

Blog post by Kellie

Stubbornness is a funny old thing.  I’m not usually the stubborn type, I’m more prone to changing my mind as often and as easily as I change my knickers, or my choice of lipstick. But after taking up with the Remington iLight Pro I decided I was not going to buy any more razors.  Ever.  That’s how sure I was that the whole IPL process was going to work.

I’m quickly learning that being stubborn can often mean paying a price.  In this case every few days I’m dragging a three month old plastic razor through what stray bits and bobs of hair I still have on my armpits and legs.  It hasn’t gotten to the painful razor-burn stage yet, but I can see it coming. Quite literally in fact, as every time I pick the razor up I can see rust slowly spreading out along its metal edges.

Now a sane person would give in and buy another pack of cheap disposable razors, but no, not I.  For I am insanely confident that after a few more Remington iLight Pro sessions I will have legs and pits as smooth as a babies bum.  Or my bum actually, since it’s not hairy.  Side note…why don’t they just say smooth as a bum?  I’ve never seen a hairy one?  Or a wrinkly one for that matter…

So since my last blog post I’ve zip zapped once more, about a week ago.  Gosh it was quick compared to the first time, there’s just so much less hair to send an intense pulse of light through. I’m now able to bypass whole chunks of leg! 

However, much to my chagrin, those stubborn areas on my legs are still refusing to submit to the process. But to be fair, I’ve been out and about in the sun a lot this last month, and a suntan does not help the IPL process at all, so those hairy spots may well be holding out until I’m my usual pasty white winter self.  My armpits are still being headstrong too, more so my right armpit than my left. BUT – I took the little one swimming on Friday, and I did not have to pass that rusted excuse for a hair removal device anywhere near the delicate areas of my lady garden that saw the magical pulse of the Remington iLight Pro, for there was no hair for a razor to pass through. 

Whoop!  Of course, I can’t communicate telepathically with my hair, so it could very well be that it’s just not in the right growing phase to be zip zapped, so I shall continue this journey, faithfully using the Remington iLight Pro every two weeks until every hair on my legs and pits have gone the way of the dodo. 

Meanwhile, as for continuing to use that rusted old razor… the other day I did spy a razor I lent to my sister for a week in our second shower … and I’m now pondering how gross it would be to use it.  I guess the real question is, just how stubborn am I?
